Lumbridge Compute
Governed compute for unified-memory AI hardware — the machines where CPU and
GPU share one pool and there is no separate VRAM allocation to bounce off.
Over-commit that pool and the box thrashes and wedges, SSH and ping included,
before the OOM killer gets a turn.

Compute does not run inference. It supervises the servers that do:

- Admission control. A model starts only if committed + requested + margin
  fits the budget. The refusal is the feature.
- A 1 Hz watchdog on MemAvailable that stops the newest model before thrash.
- Scenes: named sets of models activated as one transactional unit, with
  pre-flight validation and rollback to the previously active Scene on
  failure. Scenes reference model ids, never weight paths or commands, so a
  Scene obtained from elsewhere cannot introduce code.
- Process ownership bound to (boot_id, pid, start_time_ticks, pgid == pid),
  so a reused PID can never be group-killed.
- A protocol-transparent TCP gateway, so clients keep one address while model
  runtimes move behind it.
- An MCP server, so agents drive the node as tools rather than as a CLI.

One binary, six direct dependencies, no async runtime outside the MCP surface.

Published from the internal monorepo with a fresh history. The private
development tree keeps its own history; nothing here carries it.

# Lumbridge Compute roadmap
Lumbridge Compute is the resident AI workload control plane for unified-memory machines.
## Core contracts
1. **Models** — local vetted launch recipes with immutable revisions and measured footprints.
2. **Scenes** — named workload sets activated through admission control.
3. **Evals** — versioned datasets, prompts, harnesses, assertions, and portable results.
4. **Artifacts** — resumable weights, adapters, checkpoints, datasets, and result bundles.
5. **Jobs** — inference, evaluation, download, conversion, SFT, and RL lifecycles.
## Near term
- Resumable, checksum-verified `lumbridge-compute model pull` with leases and progress state.
- Eval comparison, regression thresholds, warmup policy, concurrency/load tests,
server-native Prometheus metrics, and hardware/config provenance.
- Scene hooks for preflight, post-activation eval gates, rollback, and schedules.
- Gateway aliases so clients follow the active scene without configuration changes.
- Training scenes and a Prime Intellect adapter for Qwen 0.6B/1.7B experiments.
- Checkpoint discovery, pause/resume, retention, and promotion into the model registry.
## Open-source readiness
- Keep public scene/eval manifests command-free; commands remain in the trusted local registry.
- Add CI across x86_64 and aarch64, unit/integration tests, security policy,
contribution guide, code of conduct, changelog, and versioned JSON schemas.
- Remove private hostnames, voices, paths, and finance datasets from public fixtures;
ship generic examples and keep personal overlays outside the repository.
